Learning outcomes

International School 2024 brochure

Describe the various scales of two-phase flow modelling and their significance.
Present the different formulations of the 1D two-phase flow modelling (number and nature of balance equations, set of dependent variables, closure laws).
Give practical and relevant examples of thermal hydraulics models in the nuclear field.
Identify and to discuss the major physical phenomena involved during design basis accident and severe accidents.
Describe the different scenarios of core degradation and corium interactions during severe accidents.
Present the hydrogen risk in LWRs.

Technical visit organized (if possible, depending on the availability of the experimental facilities)
